I love to make baby quilts! Also, when my son was young (and a couple times during high school and college) I had great fun making really creative Halloween costumes for him. Costumes are fun because you can just make it up as you go along!

I've mad cushions, dresses and shorts for the kids which I have loved but am in the process of making a tent that hangs over the dining table with fabric windows, bunting and all. A rainy day savior for lots of playtime. Found the idea in a book called Cool Spaces For Kids. Think is will be my favorite :-)).

I just had a baby girl and I can say I am enjoying everything I make for her. I can't wait to try sewing a dress or skirt for her! I also love to my boys things too, I will need to make them twin sized quilts here soon!

I don't know if this will become my favourite kid's project, But i'll tell what I'm planning to do. My 2-year old son loves to help in the kitchen (in fact he loves helping with anything we do ;)). so i'm going to make him apron along with chef's hat. I found a great tutorial and think this will make my son very very happy :).

I love making raggy quilts for baby with minky, flannel and fun prints. My son wants me to make a big one for him for his bed now that he has outgrown his crib sized blankey. I also love making little soft storage bins from canvas for the playroom.

My two favorite things to make for kids: 1) LIbrary book bags to encourage reading and trips to the library. 2) Drawstring bags. These are great for corralling all those little bitty like pieces of stuff.

I love making quilts for kids. Easier size for me. I've also made balloon balls--these are always a big hit.This fabric would be wonderful for either project. Love it--and thanks for a chance to win some.

I make ornaments for all the kids in my life for Christmas every year. What I make always depends on what sparks my interest that year. Last year it was glitter. This year, everybody is getting a quilt block in Flurry by Kate Spain. :o)

I'd say looking back that most of my work is aimed at the younger folk. It just gives me so much pleasure to make something beautiful, useful and preferably huggable for them..mainly quilts but also stuffed animals and bags of all shapes and uses..anything to show them I love them, just like my grandmother and mother did for me.
